PRAYER ENABLES

The Living Church tells of how a missionary doctor saved the
life of a famous Arctic explorer (Stefansson).

It was a case of double pneumonia & the explorer had to
be brought in 50 miles to the hospital. When he had recovered, he said to the
doctor:

"Money cannot repay what you have done for me. You have
saved my life. But I should like to make one criticism. You would accomplish
more if you did not spend so much time in religious work & in prayer."

Then the doctor replied, "If it had not been for prayer,
I should not be here; this hospital would not have been here & you would be
lying dead in the snow."

Lord Jesus said: “I am the vine, and you are the branches.
Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear much fruit; for you can do
nothing without me.” (Jn 15:5 GNT)

“Whenever God calls us to a task, He will equip us and
enable us to complete that task.” - Michael Youssef.
